tenex

Has anyone's child tried Vyvanse? If so can you tell me what you think of it? My 9 yr. is currently on 54mg concerta and i don't like it or at least it doesn't suit him well. I would like to find something else with a lower dose. He has tried adderall but that didnt work well either. He was on...

Hi all, I am new here, this is my 1st post. First of all, after doing a little reading on the boards, I know I don't have it that bad. My sweet difficult child could have a lot more on his plate than just ADHD. But right now, I am busy having a little pity party and I know SOMEONE out there will...

DevPed wants to start wee difficult child on Tenex to slow him a bit. She thinks perhaps slowing him down will help with impulsivity? Anyone with experience? I'm willing to try, but I'll admit I'm skeptical. We go through sometimes long periods of time where he's extremely hyper, but the impulsivity...

In regard to the bedwetting, difficult child was dry three out of the seven days. A decent improvement since he was only dry one night the previous week on DDAVP (the DDAVP was stopped before the Focalin was started). His dryness seemed to alternate one dry night, one wet night etc. Since he's taking the...

I should have known, going through this twice now, the medication trial is going to be a huge PITA. But, silly, stupid me, I thought, just thought, MAYBE, just MAYBE, this kid will be different, and a small stimulant will take all the worries away. Hello? Who was I kidding? He's still ADHD...

Does anyone have any ideas for dealing with difficult child 2 who gets so bent out shape when he doesn't get what he wants. Friends aren't available to come over, he wants something now, somebody didn't get something at the store, he wants to do something, something doesn't go his way, he gets bummed out...

After about 5+ years of difficult child’s Adderall working well, it stopped working. We’ve been going through one medication adjustment after another. Upped to 30 mg, then back down to 25 mg but added Tenex, then increased Tenex. All to no avail. We went back to the doctor again yesterday afternoon...

Hello! I have been away from this board for a long long time (not because things were going perfectly, but because I felt like I was managing things alright). I could not even remember the website but eventually remembered and here I am. 3rd grade is off to a rough start. Has anyone else...

Just thinking out loud again here... I read on a couple of different medical sites that Tenex can induce manic symptoms in children with ADHD, and am now wondering if that explains why difficult child 2 had the wild "flight of ideas" and assuming what strangers were thinking about him, and the physical...

My son 3 1/2 was recently diagnosed with autism and a consideration of ODD. I thought it was just ADHD, but boy was I wrong. I thank you all so much though. I didn't log on, but I have been reading every night what you all write for the past 6 months. It helped get me ready for everything...

So E has been taking Vyvanse for a few weeks. he is taking around 12-15mg every morning. It's hard to tell exactly how much because of the way it's dissolved and measured out. But most days I'm able to get his dosage pretty good and he does well on it. But it wears off after 9 hours and he is CRAZY...

Its a long story but I will get straight to the point. My boyfriend's niece is a difficult child, she is 14 years old and has showed signs of being bi-polar since shes a young child. Her parents had her on a low dose of prozac and she seemed to be doing great. 4 years ago she was taken from the parents and placed...

difficult child (14/15 in May) is on high dose Abilify 37 1/2 mg & Tenex 2 1/2 mg daily (at night). He seems to tolerate it fine with no side effects. Most difficult children or adults are not on this high dose. It makes me worry though; however, since no side effects, doctor. thinks it's not a problem. It is what...

We are finishing up our awesome IEP report!!! But since we have been having lengthy discussions with Ms. J (K's teacher) she has unfortunately seen K start to fall apart. School is going on 4 weeks now. I think the School thought at first that we were asking for a lot. Because K presents so...

E had his Tenex increased in September. He has gained 6 lbs this past month, which I believe is more than a coincidence. This saddens me because he had previously gained 65 lbs on Risperdal going from 35 lbs at age 4 to 99 lbs at age 6. Then when he went to the psychiatric hospital they changed his medications around...

We are having such trougble with my daughter not behaving and she is impossible to deal with. Abilify has not worked at all. In fact it made her start being violent with classmates and I finally got it out of her system and the violence stopped. She is just totally moodly, irritable and...

Finally in no unclear terms I told difficult child that I will call the police if he hits me one more time. It was very clearly an I'm not kidding tone, one that surprised even me. Now the follow through. Wish me luck. It has been two days of coming home from school and his hitting me like crazy over...

difficult child has been having so many tics lately. He used to do one or two things (mainly coughing), but for the past two weeks he is constantly ticing. He is sniffing his nose and moving his jaw up and down. It doesn't seem to stop. He is also opening and closing his fingers. I feel so badly for...

It will never get any better. I just need to vent. I have the worst difficult child ever. He curses at me, and is very nasty to both husband & myself, breaks things, damages the house etc. Medication doesn't even make a dent. I feel like giving up but i can't, or can I? I don't think so, at least not...

I never thought I'd miss the days of raging but I think it's because I knew at some point he'd get so tired he'd have to stop difficult child is struggling right now with his Tourettes. He is struggling between whipping his head forward hard and bending over in half. This is every 2 seconds he is doing...
